Why does my Ps4 show so little download and upload data?

I have a 170 K line, so download 170 Mbits and 40 Mbits upload, I'm connected to the LAN cable on the Ps4, but I still get 47 mbits displayed when downloading and about 37.7 mbits upload. Have already called Telekom, who said there are no problems with my line. I also have the Magenta app, where I can also test the connection speed. There it shows everything correctly (170 download approx and 40 upload). What could be the problem? Possibly on the LAN cable vill?

If you reach your 170/40 in the speed test, it will probably be due to the Sony servers, which do not necessarily have to provide you with the full bandwidth

What's *** …

pr

Jz even changed LAN cable, still the same

Fe

Do you get more on other devices?

pr

My cell phone, for example

Then the Sony servers will probably no longer give out.

If your cell phone already gets more over Wi-Fi, the problem is not your fault

So I was on their side, wanted to check the PSN status. Apparently they are in the process of improving the Internet with others, because so many are apparently gambling. Let's see…

A 170k line is a 170mbps line. So only about 17 mbits a second.

This topic has been dealt with here and there.

I have the same "problem"… I have an amazing line. The speed test is beastly. But the PS4 only manages a fraction. But that's quite normal. It doesn't work anymore. No matter if you set it up by cable, closer to the Fritz Box or a couple of repeaters. Will bring nothing. Unfortunately you have to come to terms with it. But let's be honest… Even if it's only a fraction, it's easily enough to do everything that is offered on the PS4.

That's not true. The k stands for 1000, 1000 bits = 1 Mbit. Have a 250k line and have most of the time between 40 and 150 Mbits. According to your logic, I would have up to 1.5 Gbit.

Le

Sorry? According to my "Logic" you would have ~ 30 mbits. https://www.speedtestx.de/tabelle-datenrate.html

I have no idea how you can get 1.5 Gbits.

Gi

You say with 170k you would have 17 Mbits so one tenth of the line. So you would have a 1500k line according to the logic with 150 Mbits.

Le

Correct. If you download with 150 Mbits you have a 1500k line. But I do not assume that you do this. But that you have a download speed of 150 mbps.

Gi

I also wonder if you can get to 30 Mbits when my statement was that I have between 40 and 150 Mbits most of the time. According to your first statement, I would have to have the number of Mbits times 10 as a line, so 150 Mbits times 10 equals 1500k. But what is complete nonsense.

Le

You can't compare bits with bytes. 100k = 12.5 Mbits. If you don't believe me, just google instead of spreading nonsense here.

Gi

I have a 250k line and, according to several speed tests, around 100 Mbits. Both the internal Ps4, the apps I tried and the internet sites all say Mbits. I have now tested my speed again and have 44.9 Mbits, which according to you could not be.

Gi

Here is a speed test of mine. It often happens that you have a lower number of Mbits than you should. It is most likely due to the PSN servers. It can also help to change the port in the settings. The various ports can be found in tutorials on Youtube or when you google.

Why does my Ps4 show so little download and upload data

Ok bro, then I'm reassured that it's up to sony. But really disabled, jz wanted to play nice and smooth.

pr

Have about the same results by the way

pr

Ok, let's hope that changes soon, let's see what sony will do.

Be glad that you don't have to download a printer driver from HP, that was a shame for HP today with a 50 Mbit / s line with an incredible 400 kilobytes per second instead of a possible 6 megabytes per second! 5 - 6 megabytes per second are perfectly fine for you for game downloads etc.

Fe

Mbits are not MB / s

1 byte is 8 bits

1MB is 8 Mbit

With your 250,000 kbit / s line you have a maximum of 31.25MB / s in the download (during the speed test).

However, since the Playstation shows Mbit and not MB during the speed test, you would have to have 250 Mbit / s on the Playstation if your entire line is used.

44 Mbit / s is therefore far too little for your line.

However, this is not because your line is experiencing a disturbance or something similar. Has, but because Sony does not / can't provide gamers with the full bandwidth

Ja

I don't think much will change there. You would have to pay more money for technology and upgrading 🙈

Gi

I never said anything else. 100k = 100 Mbits and not 100k = 12.5 Mbits as the other one says.

Can't you read?
